The Resurrection of Jesus
Dear Friends,
A reading from St. Mark’s Gospel (16:1-6):
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices so that they might go and anoint him. Very early when the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb. They were saying to one another, “Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back; it was very large. On entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were utterly amazed. He said to them, “Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him. But go and tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.’” Then they went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

The greatest day of the whole world was the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. By this miracle Jesus showed us that indeed He is God and that He has all power. Therefore, we are to listen to Him for all that He said is the truth. We have to follow Him every day.
Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“I bless you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters spread over the face of the earth. I was not at the tomb on the First Easter morning. However, when Jesus rose from the dead the first person He visited was Me, His Mother. What a joy filled My heart to see My Son Jesus alive once more and entering the house. With the resurrection, Jesus showed the Apostles and the whole world that He is indeed the Son of God, the Savior of the world. Yes, He is the Messiah promised to the Jews right from the beginning of the world after Adam and Eve sinned. The Jewish people were waiting for the Messiah but when Jesus came they did not recognize Him but instead they called Him a traitor and crucified Him. I was there at the foot of the cross when My Son Jesus died and I was with the people when they laid Him in the tomb. Then I spend the next days praying for I expected Him to rise from the dead. I pray for all of you, My children, that you accept Jesus, My Son, as your Savior, and that you believe in Him with all your heart. Come and be His friend and you will be blessed.”
